Bayern won the second leg 2-1 at the Allianz Arena on April 1, 2026 to take the tie 5-3 on aggregate. (global.espn.com) Melvine Malard opened for Manchester United in the 11th minute, while Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir equalised in the 80th and Linda Dallmann struck four minutes later to finish the comeback. (uefa.com) Both Bayern goals originated from Carolin Simon corners — Viggósdóttir headed the first and Dallmann followed up the rebound to seal the win. (uefa.com) Linda Dallmann was named Vodafone Player of the Match after her second-half impact, and the result sends Bayern into their first UWCL semi-final since the 2020–21 season. (uefa.com) United were making their debut in the competition this season and had pulled level on aggregate after Malard’s early strike, but the loss ended their maiden UWCL campaign — a debutants’ semi-final berth last happened for neighbours Manchester City in 2016–17. (global.espn.com) Bayern arrived at the second leg holding a 3-2 first-leg advantage thanks to a late Momoko Tanikawa winner at Old Trafford and two goals from Pernille Harder earlier in that match. (beinsports.com) The Allianz Arena crowd of about 25,000 saw Bayern increasingly dominate set-plays in the second half — Sky Sports noted United defended a high number of corners before succumbing to the two late set-piece finishes. (skysports.com) Bayern will meet the winner of Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the semi-finals, with Barcelona holding a 6-2 first-leg lead heading into the return tie. (skysports.com)
